Notes:
“Natural Language Interface” (NLI) is a broad term that encompasses various types of interfaces that allow users to interact with a system using natural language, such as spoken or written language. It is often used as an umbrella term to refer to different types of interfaces that use natural language, including conversational user interfaces, spoken dialog interfaces, spoken language interfaces, and voice user interfaces. The term “Natural Language User Interface” (NLUI) is less common, but it also refers to the same concept. These interfaces allow users to interact with computer systems, applications and services using natural language and they can be implemented in a variety of ways, including through speech recognition and natural language processing.
The references below discuss the concept of Natural Language Interface (NLI) and its potential uses in various fields such as semantic wikis, complex information management, human-computer interactions, question answering, speech technology, geolocation, and databases. The text highlights how NLI can overcome the limitations of traditional graphical user interfaces and facilitate access to information by allowing users to interact with computer systems using natural language. Additionally, the text also highlights how NLI can be used to enhance the naturalness of human-computer interactions, model human socio-linguistic abilities computationally, and facilitate universal and ad hoc access to community databases. The text also mentions some of the challenges that NLI faces, such as the discordance between the expressions covered by the interface and those by the knowledge base. Overall, the text suggests that NLI has the potential to improve the usability and accessibility of computer systems by allowing users to interact with them in a more natural and intuitive way.
